Ishihara House

Sat on the lanai of our second Kauai VRBO, the Ishihara House, looking at the foothills of Waimea Canyon, the “Grand Canyon of the Pacific.” The house is plantation-style, with a 1930’s old-Hawaii vibe and nods to Japan. And it’s less expensive than most rentals.

Fire Rock

Nursed a depiction of a volcanic eruption while waiting for a delicious Hawaiian plate lunch.

There Is No Road

Traveler, your footprints
are the only road, nothing else.
Traveler, there is no road;
you make your own path as you walk.
As you walk, you make your own road,
and when you look back you see the path
you will never travel again.
Traveler, there is no road
only a ship’s wake on the sea.

Okolehao Trail

Hiked Kauai’s muddy Okolehao Trail to great views. Some areas in the distance are still off-limits after 50-inches of rain in 24 hours in April 2018 destroyed roads, bridges, and trails. This was the most rain ever recorded in the United States.

Plate Lunch

Enjoyed my favorite type of meal in Hawaii, a plate lunch. Usually there are two scoops of rice, mayo-based macaroni salad, and fish or meat cooked in an Asian style.
